Collins, Colorado 80521 Re: Spageddies Restaurant Dear Roger, This is a response to Mark Taylor's review comments, dated February 3, 1994 , concerning the final utility plans for Spageddies Restaurant. His comments were limited to sheets 3, 10, and 11 of 11. As you will note, the building has changed somewhat. This change required some minor changes to the Master Utility Plan, particularly in the area of the service yard. These changes are in addition to our responses to Mark Taylor's comments. The changes mentioned above in no way affect the original comments. The are limited to the horizontal location of the proposed grease trap, water meter vault and fire hydrant in the vicinity of the service yard at the rear of the building. We have responded to the comments as follows: Sheet 3 of 11 A sewer manhole has been provided in the parking lot approximately forty two (42') feet South of the proposed building. The sewer line from the new manhole to the proposed wye is a 6" diameter PVC pipe. The sewer line from the wye to the grease trap and to the building is a 4" diameter PVC pipe . A six inch (6") DIP fire service line is shown and called out in the Utility Plan notes. Refer to note 4. A fire hydrant has been provided at the end of the six inch (6") water line. Refer to note 4 . The water meter pit is located within a landscaped area. The water service to the building is a two inch (2") diameter copper pipe (Type K). The extent of the utilities in the service yard area necessitated the expansion of notes 4 and 5 of the Utility Plan notes. A copy of these notes are enclosed for your convenience. The utilities in the service yard area have been coordinated with Brinker International and Brown Reynolds Watford Architects. Please refer to note 2 of the Master Utility Plan Construction Notes for instructions to cut and plug the 6" water line ]East of the existing cross. The existing cross is located in approximately the center of the new access to the Target site from South College Ave. This is graphically illustrated also. Our research indicates that there are no service connections to a Fort Collins - Loveland Water District water main from this site. 4836 S.

Message. Dated: 05/05/95 at 1406. Subject: "Spagettiis" Development Agreement Sender: Diane JONES / CFC/01 Contents: 2. TO: Mike HERZIG / CFC52/01 Part 1. FROM: Diane JONES / CFC/01 TO: DISTRIBUTION Part 2. Mike: I had a call from Kim Williams (Project Mgr from Brinker International... Chilis and Spagetthis restaurants, Dallas, Tx). She called extremely frustrated (but very gracious) about a pending Development Agreement for a Spagetthis Rest. for which they are trying to start construction (Troutman and College). According to Kim they have been working on processing the utility plans (primarily STORMWATER) since last October. In the meantime, they have been working with Building and making changes in the building plans (which she remarked, the Bldg Division folks have been quick to reply and review). However, there have been no changes (made or needed ... don't know if this is accurate) all during this time to the drainage plans, yet they have languished somewhere in the system. Whenever, she has inquired, the response has been polite and the same "we're very busy and stormwater hasn't completed its review." Further, Kim indicated that she has missed three "start" deadlines and doesn't know when the storm drainage plans and, the resultant Development Agreement, may be completed. So, could you let me know: 1. What is the status of the storm drainage utility review... and when is it likely/scheduled to be complete? 2. When is the Development Agreement likely to be complete? 3. Is there anything that the developer/their engineer can/should do to expedite this? When I get this information, I told her I would call her back ... unless Greg or Rich would do so. P.S....... ....... As I mentioned, Kim was frustrated but gracious. She stated that she has been working with Brian Sheer, a local civil engineer. Apparently, he has attended one or more of the Development Review Team's Brown Bag series; further Kim asked if there was something she/local engineer could or should have done or be doing differently to have secured the approvals and the Development Agreement in a more tamely fashion. She seemed genuinely interested in knowing if she could/should change what the developer has/is doing to expedite the process. Also, the owners and developers that have called me over the past three to five months have ALL expressed frustration with getting UTILITY reviews (and primarily stormwater) completed in a more timely manner. This is a pattern. And, while Council has approved hiring another CE, it doesn't appear that this will markedly help stormwater review turnaround times. However, this seems to be an area that needs focus from the QI/problem solving team... Diane End of Item 1.

This was not formally presented in the pavement recommendations provided by Benchmark Environmental Consultants of Dallas, Texas in a report titled "Foundation Engineering Study •- Proposed Spageddies Restaurant", dated December 18, 1993; Benchmark Environmental Consultants Project No. 752-93, Pavement Design criteria for City of Fort Collins streets are presented in Section 2,00 STRUCTURAL DESIGN CRITERIA of the City of Fort Collins Design Criteria and Standards for Streets. Typically, the pavement design is based on information provided by the City of Fort Collins Engineerin 4 D�epattment to the geotechnical of rt usually seer pecify the traffiresenting the cvement volumesfortt design. desigTile n of City streets as well s the, 18Department will KIP Equivalent Daily Load Application (EDLA). General Note 4 on (Sheet I of the approved utility plans States "Street paving shall not start until the soils report and pavement design are approved by the Director of Engineering and subgradc compaction tests ate taken and approved". The pavement section noted on the South College right turn lane plan was not correct. Tile 7" of aggregate base course noted should have been 7" of bituminous pavement. The pavement section was to generally follow the pavement section for the South College right turn lane which was specified with the Good Tunes Burgers project, previously Planned for this same site. This data was provided by Stewart and Associates who was the design engineer for the Good Times Burgers project. Because paving for the South College Avenue right turn lane is scheduled for the week of October 9-13, Keith Meyer with the City of Fort Collins Engineering Department was kind enough to run the design numbers based an traffic counts on South College Avenue provided by Matt Delich in the traffic sport for Spageddies. It was deternritled that the pavement section should consist of 8" of bituminous base and 3" of asphalt. The following represents the pavement specifications for the South College Avenue right turn lane. • All hot bituminous pavclnent shall be Grading "C" conforming to most current Colorado Department of Transportation specifications. • All Plant Mix Bituminous Base shall conform to most current Colorado Department of Transportation specifications. " Subgrade shall be stripped, scarified to a depth of six inches (6"), and recompacted to at least 9,5ty0 of maximum density at +/- 2% optimum moisture. ,e Soil sterilization shall be applied under all new paving and meet the requirements of the City of Fort Collins Design Criteria and Standards for Streets" 4836 S.
